Dear Kemposh,
Please hide my identity.
I don’t even know how to begin this because my heart is in pieces. I’ve been married for six years, and I am the breadwinner not because my husband is lazy, but because of something that turned our lives upside down.
Two years after our wedding, my husband had a terrible bike accident that damaged his spine. Since then, he can’t walk without support. I stayed because I believed in “for better, for worse.” I worked two jobs, a small shop in the day, cleaning offices at night, just to keep us going.
We don’t have children yet because intimacy has been difficult since the accident, but I never complained. I told myself love was bigger than that.
Last month, my 23-year-old younger sister lost her job in another city. I told her to come stay with us until she could find her feet. She cooked, cleaned, and kept my husband company while I worked.
Three days ago, I came home earlier than usual and walked straight into a scene I will never forget, my husband was holding my sister’s hand, looking into her eyes, and saying, “I wish I had met you before your sister.” She looked uncomfortable but didn’t pull her hand away.
That night, I confronted him. He said he wasn’t cheating, that she just “understands him better” and “makes him feel like a man again.” My sister cried, swore nothing physical had happened, but admitted he flirts with her often.
Now my home is filled with tension. My husband says I’m overreacting. My sister wants to leave. And me? I’m broken.
I have sacrificed my youth, my health, and my dreams to stand by this man and this is my reward.
Posh family , should I send my sister away? Should I walk away from my husband? Or should I pretend this never happened just to save my marriage?
